The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:
E=U+K=57 J+61 J=118 J
so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.

An above ground swimming pool of 30 ft diameter and 5 ft depth is to be filled from a garden hose (smooth interior) of length 10
STALIN [3.7K]

This question involves the concepts of dynamic pressure, volume flow rate, and flow speed.

It will take "5.1 hours" to fill the pool.

First, we will use the formula for the dynamic pressure to find out the flow speed of water:

P=\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho}}

where,

v = flow speed = ?

P = Dynamic Pressure = 55 psi(\frac{6894.76\ Pa}{1\ psi}) = 379212 Pa

\rho = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(379212\ Pa)}{1000\ kg/m^3}}

v = 27.54 m/s

Now, we will use the formula for volume flow rate of water coming from the hose to find out the time taken by the pool to be filled:

\frac{V}{t} = Av\\\\t =\frac{V}{Av}

where,

t = time to fill the pool = ?

A = Area of the mouth of hose = \frac{\pi (0.015875\ m)^2}{4} = 1.98 x 10⁻⁴ m²

V = Volume of the pool = (Area of pool)(depth of pool) = A(1.524 m)

V = [\frac{\pi (9.144\ m)^2}{4}][1.524\ m] = 100.1 m³

Therefore,

t = \frac{(100.1\ m^3)}{(1.98\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^2)(27.54\ m/s)}\\\\

<u>t = 18353.5 s = 305.9 min = 5.1 hours</u>

A car is moving with a speed of 15 ms. How long does it take to cover a distance<br>of 1.2 km?​
fgiga [73]

Answer: 80 s

Explanation:

Speed is expressed in  v= d/t, derive the equation so we can have time.

First conert km into meters to cancel out both units and only seconds will remain.

1.2 km x 1000m/ 1km = 1200 m

t = 1200 m /15 m/s = 80 s

an object is acted upon by a force of 22 Newtons to the right and 13 Newtons to the left what is the magnitude and direction of
frosja888 [35]

22N to the right and 13N to the left

Forces are in opposite directions so you subtract the bigger force from the smaller force

Magnitude of force= 22N -13N

= 9N

net force direction is to the right

Dominik [7]

Answer:

c. the hole in the plate and the opening in the ring get larger.

Explanation:

The hole in the plate and the ring both of them get enlarged.

The thermal expansion is very much similar to the optical expansion of the shadow of an object.

<em>The change in length of an object is given by the relation:</em>

\Delta l=l.\alpha.\Delta T

where:

l = original length of the object

\alpha= coefficient of linear expansion

ΔT = change in temperature
